Hi, I am new to this site and was intrigued to see that others have suffered through the stress of no diagnosis. Yes, I believe it is a real stress in itself. Although I am a recently retired RN, I now see my doctors visits as rather pointless as although my symptoms worsen, there does not seem to be a definite diagnosis and I am beginning to feel as though I should not be "bothering" a busy medical professional. As a 2 time cancer survivor, I don't immediately think that it has returned when I am in pain and suffering, but I do know myself well enough to know that something is wrong. And how do I begin to treat the problem if I do not know what the problem is? Assertiveness is not my strong point.....and suggestions?
